<h2>How to Enhance Your Laptop Experience</h2>by KayBrennerLaptops designers thought about mobility when they invented these space saving computers, but there is also something more to them. The image of laptops became similar with an image of a successful businessman or a cool writer that can take their laptops anywhere and dabble in stocks or write on blogs anytime they desire to do so. Anyways, there are some downsides to this modern gadget. Battery life is certainly an issue; if you don't have an extra battery or you've no way to charge it back up, you're pretty much out of luck until you find a way. And because of the tiny size of laptop computers, many dishonest people will not think twice about stealing one. So now that we've established the cool factor of laptops, let's go through some tips that'll make your laptop experience even better. Battery Life: More Juice There are certain advantages of having a personal computer at home. One of them is that you can keep them plugged during usage, which means that you do not have to worry about batteries. With laptops, things are exactly the other way around. Battery life is an issue, but we can learn you how to prolong its life, in order to get more from your laptop when you are outside and away from any outlet. One method you can use to keep your battery from dying too quickly is to dim your screen to its lowest configuration. Your laptop's screen sucks up the most power, so if you don't need a super bright screen, dim it down to conserve battery juice. Making Backups No matter how sturdy a laptop can look on the outside, you should know that the components inside are delicate enough that a hard knock can inflict serious damage. From all of them, the one that you must be most protective of is the hard drive, the component where all your data is stored. What you need as an assurance is a serious backup. Make a habit out of saving your files and documents from the laptop onto CD-R's, DVD's and thumb drives. This way, any possible damage will be minimized. Guard Your Laptop Always take care when connecting to an open wireless network. Install a robust firewall, like ZoneAlarm, and make sure that you set its security settings high to get the best protection. Folder sharing on an open network is just asking for trouble, so make sure you turn this setting and others like it off. Also, there is no better protection than encryption. In order to protect your data, in case your laptop gets stolen by evil doers, use an encrypting tool so you will be the only one able to access the documents on your computer. Fend Off the Heat Laptops can get hot after a few hours of usage and can get very uncomfortable if its sitting on your lap. They sell laptop sleeves that'll keep the heat away from your skin. If anything, get an old shirt and place it under so your skin isn't in direct contact with the escaping heat. Laptops are simply more convenient than desktop computers and nobody can deny it. PC producers are more and more oriented towards making the old style computer more space saving, but, even with the revolution of LCD screens, you still need a sturdy desk to keep all the components in the same place. As for laptops, with the advice we have given you this far, you will get to enjoy them even more.<h3>About the Author</h3>Kay Brenner is a <a href="http://www.pcdocpro.com">Windows crash</a> consultant who specializes in restoring your slow PC, saving you time and money wrestling with a sick computer.
